Funny, the B45 was one of MANY mouthpieces I tried before I found THE ONE.
(the B45 was not it for me) Of course what was THE ONE for me would probably
not be THE ONE for you. Since everyone's oral cavity, embosure (sp?. I think
I really murdered that one), tooth placement etc. is not the same, then just
one mouthpice would never do even if there were no differences. In fact it
was advice fom Jerry Korten and others when I was searching for the one that
kept me on track.
